Review:
"Wilmerding . . . contends that [Mount Desert] is unique as one of the most inspiring and passionately sought havens for artists in America. . . . Those with admiration for Mount Desert Island and an interest in landscape painting will find [this] to be an engaging historical document. It is an encyclopedic resource for anyone wishing to cross-reference Mount Desert with nineteenth-century painting."
Temple Parker, Boston Book Review
